Edie Campbell

Hails from: London

Currently reading: "A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing by Eimear McBride. It's told from the point of view of a young girl in the middle of a terrible upbringing, and it's devastating and beautifully written. I'd recommend it, but know that it's intense."

Malaika Firth

Hails from: London

Currently reading:"The Waitby DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good. It's about the power of faith and taking time before rushing into relationships, especially marriage, and how commitment is something to be valued and respected. I think it's a really important subject, and sometimes people are afraid to talk about it! "

Marjan Jonkman

Hails from: Amsterdam

Currently reading:"No Baggage, by Clara Bensen. It's a true story. She goes around the world without packing anything, with someone she barely knows. The whole time you read it thinking, 'She actually did that?!' It's captivating."

Anna Andersson

Hails from: Stockholm

Currently reading:"Jag Heter Inte Miriam (My Name Is Not Miriam), by Majgull Axelsson. My teacher is making me read it, but it's really good. It's about a war survivor with a hidden identity, and how even her own family doesn't know her."

Alecia Morais

Hails from: Cape Verde

Currently reading:"I'm studying an economy textbook for school. I really like that subject. I might want to be an accountant one day."

Langley Fox Hemingway

Hails from: Sun Valley, Idaho

Currently reading:"The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway. Everyone assumes I've already read everything by him because we're related, but that's why I haven't! It's an incredible read so far. I'm really enjoying it."

Eva Borovska

Hails from: Latvia

Currently reading:"Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell. My aunt told me to read it. I know the movie, it's very famous where I'm from, and my aunt said the book was better. (They always are.) So I'm trying it!"

Veronika Vilim

Hails from: New York City

Currently reading:"M Train, by Patti Smith. Obviously I'm obsessed with [her first book] Just Kids, so I had to see what comes next. This one's very different, but it's a privilege to live in her head for a little bit."

Anna Mila Guyenz

Hails from: Berlin

Currently reading:"Der Distelfink, by Donna Tartt. You call it The Goldfinch, but that's how we say it in German. It's a very popular book there!"
